Narrative

Fruit olive-shaped, large, red ribbed on green This selection was made by A. C. Bennett from a small patch of cranberries found near Grand Rapids, Wisconsin, about 1890. The fruit consists of medium (76 cup count) deep red berries that are oblong in shape with their stem end furrowed. The berries color and keep well in cold storage. The vines are vigorous and coarse, producing large, dark green leaves and tall uprights that bloom rather late in the season (which means that most of the spring frosts are escaped). The berries ripen late in the season, however, and are very susceptible to end rot fungi, which probably contributes to the poor to fair crops that are attained. - Paul Eck, 1990, The American Cranberry.
